Meet the Giant Robot That Builds Boeing’s Airplane Wings | WIRED

Building something as large as a 737 wing takes an even bigger machine. Boeing’s Panel Assembly Line (PAL) is the 60 ton, 20 feet tall, friendly robot that always lends a rather large hand.

Humans are amazing ... we may lose some jobs to automation, but new jobs will be created to keep them operational, design new one's, write the software to run them and more.

[@DougGrinbergs]

Is there a very critical and thorough AI inspection robot?

[@AYFUHGETABOUTIT]

So cool watching these videos since I build the crowns and side fittings for the wing center section of the 767

[@billjoang]

This was very uplifting

[@snazzyidiot]

lol

[@AddictedtoProjects]

Its cool and all, but once you look through the rhetoric you'll see that the 737 is a positively ANCIENT design. Yes, it has been given 'new' wings, but even these are still made the old fashioned way; i.e. out of Aluminium.
You guys should go and arrange a visit to the Airbus factory where they build the A350xwb. Most of the plane, including the wings, is constructed from Carbon Fibre. All that stuff is totally new and cutting edge technology.

[@erricomalatesta2557]

agreed, airbus is years ahead

[@kidfromcentralafricanrepub6817]

mictho100 comparing a 737 to an A350. Great job mate.

[@Ben123]

Kid From Central African Republic airbus sounds like a hair dryer

[@killermemestar9315]

mictho100 fanboy

[@killermemestar9315]

mictho100 compare the 787-9 to the a350 over comparing the 737 to a350

[@Baztation]

Human 's ability is crazy!

[@eduardodaquil158]

Ehy not manufactured wings like the process in wind turbine blades?less riveting and yet flexible and tough.

[@bobwreck3775]

Funny how they are hollow but can slice through steel beams on the Twin Towers. Next time I need to cut steel I'll find something hollow and whack at it.

[@alanholloway1264]

It did not slice through the steel beams. The fire created by the impact weakened the steel sructure causing it to collapse. Do some research next time.

[@faperito2389]

How about all that kinetic energy, Newton?

[@Livereater]

impressive!

[@Nordic_Mechanic]

And they take 31 000 litres of fuel inside them, accordinging to specs

[@UrAshWhole]

Y'll didnt even didn't show WSI.

[@akbar6462]

can you again start doing battle damage

[@MrQwerty2524]

Loved the soundtrack. Does anyone have the name?

[@mdebrahimchowdhury8061]

its so lucky that it's not crashed inside the hanger!@!@

[@forrestgumpv9049]

So is this causing the cracks ??

[@kenishi8781]

Yea, this is not Boeing’s technology, rather an engineering firm ELECTROIMPACT located in Mukilteo that specializes in automation. I’ve worked closely with these guys. Should give credit to them not Boeing.

[@CEOofWalking]

Top10!!!!!!11

[@hypocretin2468]

They use feet in their airplanes? My god...

[@ultimatekamsi3343]

cool

[@giusy7303]

First.... nerds

[@tabaks]

What’s with the fake British accent?

[@derhonkler]
